Building a better solar panel: NAU graduate wins NSF award to continue research into sustainable energy
Current solar panels capture about 20 percent of the sunlight that hits them. Increasing the efficiency of this technology will mean more renewable energy in the power grid without additional infrastructure. Researchers at Northern Arizona University are looking for ways to use artificially created chlorosomes to create a more efficient solar panel. One of those […]
New Laser Testing Approach Detects Coronavirus in Minutes
Effective control of the spread of viruses like SARs-CoV-2, the virus responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic, relies on three Ts: testing, tracing, and treatment. Testing for coronavirus infection remains important, especially as many areas in the United States are starting to re-open schools and loosen restrictions designed to slow its spread. However, the main testing […]
Collaborative ¡MIRA! team, including student researchers, working on nanotechnology to streamline vaccine delivery
An interdisciplinary research team at Northern Arizona University is working with partners throughout the country to revamp how vaccinations are delivered—a timely project that, once successful, could be applied to the coming COVID-19 vaccine and inoculations against new organisms that humanity may face in the future.
